QUOTE (toetyper @ Jun 15 2009, 03:51 PM)  do you still, choose what order you take the questions That would seem a key part of the strategy that they wouldn't want to mess with, though offhand, I'm not sure what the better strategy would be. Do you take the harder questions first, so that if you miss them you can still build a substantial bank with the rest, or do you save the harder, more valuable questions until the end, so you can build a consolation bank in a hurry if you miss one fairly late? |

Interesting idea. But, I would prefer if, instead of losing it all, a wrong answer just cuts the bank in half.
That way, unless someone goes 0-10, there's always a final question possibility, even if the gamble could be very low risk. |

One would think they would take a cue from You Bet Your Life and make that last question worth a grand or something if someone goes into it broke.

One thing I can see with the "new" format is that it does add the play-along factor for people at home. With this format, all the questions (at least the pre 10x questions) are played, and those playing at home can see what they would have won or lost had they been in the hot seat and see if they were smarter than the contestant and/or the 5th graders.
